By the 1820s, they were widespread in German protestant areas. They were kept by the local priest to keep track of all citizens (''Bürger'') of the parish regardless of residence. Some parish offices created non-citizen resident (''Beisass, Niedersass'') family books as well.<br> | ||
Beginning in 1876, these records were required to be kept by all municipalities in Switzerland. | |||
